What a Man Wants q Wife For.
Stocton Mail.

Let me join with Mabel in giving Soc
iety women a hint Of their usefulness.
No wonder that men who go in these
women's company do not want to mar
ry. They are disguised with them. Not
all, of course, but very large majority
are.
Now, let me tell you what man wants
wife for. In the first place to love
her and in return to be loved In the
next place he wants her for a help mate.
In case of sickness who can do more than
loving wife? When you are sick Mr..
Bachelor, wife comes in mighty handy
In health all are your friends, but in sick
ness none are to be depended on except
your wife.
Tell Bertha to keep on learning house
keeping. 1t is not burdensome knowl-
edge to carry, even if she does have to do
the cooking. 1t makes you so indepen-
dent that you do not have to take impu,
dence from a cook, and in case she
leaves you suddenly, as she may do, you
will know how to get your hubby de-

The Kings Daughter.

There is a society of women in New
York known as the Kings Daughters,
which despite its royal title, is purely
democratic in organization. It was be-
gun by ten women who felt desire to do
some organized religious work and OBJ
iected to the trammels of a big, unwieldy
society. So these ten met at tke house
of Mrs. Bottome, at No. 18 Washington
place, last January, made her president
of the little band of pious princesses,
and proceeded to adopt motto, a
watchward and a badge, consisting Of a
tiny silver Maltese cross suspended to
bit of royal purple ribbon. Not year
has passed since then, but already the
society has grown very large; not added
to the original group, but organized in
other branches of ten each; and the
strange sight is seen sometimes of
woman at the counter of a shop, seeing
the purple ribbon on the breasts of the
woman who serves her, extending her
hand cordially and saying: ~ also am the
daughter of the King The original ten
have formed the nucleus of general
society, and are known as the Central
Ten. To them perplexing matters are
referred, but the organization is very ell
astie, and each little group carries on
its own self-chOsen work in its
own way. One of tie tens decided to Wis
it the sick children in the hospitals, and
chose that as their work. A number of
them, various tens taking its turn, visit
the Hahnemann hospital and regularly
assist in the institution, also bringing
dolls, picture books, and toys for the
little ones. One branch calls itself the
Shut-in Ten, consisting of invalids who
have been confined to the house for
yrars; another ten devote themselves to
these invalids and endeayor to bring
light and JOY into their lives, correspond
ing with them, visiting them, reading to
them, and teaching them all sorts of fan
cy work to beguile their tedious lives.
Girls prominent in society have joined
themselves to the Kings Daughters, find
ing an outlet for their surplus energies
and room for whatever their special taste
dictates. Mrs. M. L. Dickinson, Miss
Helen Hammersly, Mrs. Theodore Irving,
Mrs. Francis Payson, Mrs. CORTLAND de
Puyster Field, Mrs. j. F. Ruggles, Miss S.
r. Schenck, Miss G. 81. Libby, and Mrs.
Isabella Davis are the central ten.

Girls Should Be Useful.
Harrisburg Indedendent.

There is large class of Americans
people of opulence, men of acquired Or
inherited Wealth-Who do not hesitate to
inculcate the belief among their children,
and especially their daughters that it is
useless and unnecessary for them to learn
to do anything in connection with do
mestic manual labor. It is no uncommon
expression in the higher circles of society
for ladies to declare:
"My husband" or ''my father is CHI;
why then should demean myself by man
ual labor?"
In such society it is deemed vulgar for
a lady to know how to do useful thing
In connection with housekeeping. Par
ents IN this case rear their daughters
not to learn to do the useful, and many
mothers whose husbands are under hard
strain every day in the year to find the
wherewithal to keep up appearances, i'm
press their daughters with the idea that
labor is degrading, and that hand which
shows any sign of manual labor will not
be sought in marriage by a gentleman.
We confess we do not know how true this
is. If 1t is correct, then indeed it is the
evidence of a lack ofimanhcod; and if it is
not true, it is wicked libel on the char
acter of an American gentleman,
Girls who won't lear to do useful things
at home because their fathers are rich
lose opportunities to fit themselves to
meet the exigencies and the accidents
of life. It has always been custom for
the princes of Germany to learn trades.
The Bourbon princes of France all &C
quired trades. Some of them were
printers, bOokbinders, shipwrights, house
carpenters, joiners, and painters, they did

stood them.
Royal and princely ladies in Germany
and France understood every function of
housekeeping and knew how to perform
1t. They can go to the dairy and stable
and handle milk or COW and a horse
with dexterity and satisfaction.
The Prince of Wales is a bookbinGe
Each of his brothers has trade, and his
sons are now learning trades according
to their tastes. all the ladies of the
English royal household are accomplish
ed in practical things they know how to
do useful things even if they are called
upon to perform them.
The mawkishness or sentimentality
which encourages girls not to learn to do
useful, practical and strengthening labor
is a bebasement of the nobleot impulses
of nature. When such an incubation is
encouraged it tends to deprive girls es-
pecially from developing their mental
and physical forces, to enervate them
and impair functions which, if properly
| trained, might develop the good and
grand in their character. Work properly
per formed is a recuperator, not an ex-
hauster, of mental and physical powers.
knowledge is power, is an axiom as truth.
To know how to do the useful is an &C.
complishment of which any girl can
be proud, and especially ali American
| girl.

more of you for knowing that much he
has no heart.
Remember that some are rich to day
ard poor tomorrow. When fortune
has taken wings such a wife as Bertha
would make will be godsend to the
man who has her.
I could tell you some very interesting
things about the way I started in mar
ried life, and how have had to
struggle along. Maybe 1 will take the no
ton to jot them down some day. I am
very proud of the part have taken in
helping my husband along.

The Scotch lassie whose lover was
slipping out of his engagement, and
brought all sorts of things up as an evil
dence of his never having led her to be-
lieve that he meant to marry her, gave a
piquant answer.
